FLOATERS

Rating: (7 votes)

Race the clock to see which team can gather the most floating objects from the deep end.

Game Type:

Active. A lot of movement may be required.

Players:

4 or more players

Needed:

Swimming pool All kinds of floating objects including balls, water toys, sponges etc

Rules:

Divide the group into two teams. Place all of the floating objects in the deep end of the pool. Each team sits on the opposite sides of the pool. When the starter signals, each team's members swim towards the center. Everyone must paddle and scramble to collect as many objects as possible. After one or two minutes (you decide how long) the starter gives another signal to swim to the edge of the pool. The team that ends up with the most number of objects wins.

Variation:

Let one team swim in at a time for a set amount of time. Count the objects they collect, throw them back in, and see if the other team can collect more pieces in the same amount of time.
